We do this. We have always hung an external drive case off our main file server for use by folks as a backup area. When it got full we backed the data off to tape and wiped the area clean.
Now we have a separate box running IDE RAID-1 with 6 very large IDE drives. This gives us a huge Backup repository that we can then back-off to tape during the week. The cost was very cheap. The speed is very fast.
